Comment on [Help] Steam Deck OLED | Windows 10 Dual Boot | How to Enable Secure Boot

Yeah, dual booting Win and Lin is… basically a trap at this point, I first tried to do it over a decade now…
There really is no need anymore, beyond very specific uses cases, to run Windows at all.
Linux caught up and has now exceeded it in basically everyway, as Windows has also enshittified.
I would suggest you look into just switching your Deck over to Bazzite.
From a basic user stand point, it is highly functional and performant, gives you more flexibility and utilities than default SteamOS, and you can even set up a linux container as a dev environment to do linux dev stuff, use Bottles or something if you need something closer to a Windows environment.
Yeah, its still not gonna play those few, super hyped and marketed AAA games… but fuck em, they’re evil corpos, stop giving them your time and money.
…
And I just made another suggestion to you in another comment:
You want BF style game(play)?
TitanFall 2. Still alive, still alive, got a reverse engineered server browser and private servers, runs great on linux via Proton.

I’m starting to see how much of a trap it is!
I’m interested in multi booting different distros. Any guides on how to wipe my current deck and start over? I’ve heard Bazzite and PopOS are pretty slick, and I still want to keep SteamOS.
Yeah fuck corpos!!!
I saw that comment. I’ll look into it!

Well, afaik, PopOS! does not have a … handheld PC oriented flavor, so… you could get it to work, but likely only via a dock, keyboard and mouse and monitor.
It may partially work, to some extent, as a handheld, but it won’t be able to… leave desktop mode, basically, unless you manually figure out how to set up everything you need for that game mode transition.
Bazzite on the other hand… comes with all that prebuilt in, is designed around that as a fundamental principle.

Thanks for the info

I may have gotten in a stealth edit addendum right after you actually read that comment, more detail about potentially dual booting Bazz and StmOS
